If indeed PUSH is no more, I would say it has more to do with Festival of Fantasy than MyMagic+. Entertainment budgets are well known to be tightly controlled, and gain in one area, usually involves a loss in another. It seems the total spend never really changes, it is just reallocated.
MK (and its entertainment budget) could easily handle both....

Maybe its sarcasm for you; for some its a way to vent their frustration and disappointing in a growing list of removed stuff by disney world executives. The list magic stuff at disney that makes tiny details so special..seems to be getting shorter and shorter... Something that you and Jimmy always seem to ignore or just blatantly deny.

to resume, a bunch of stuff is gone.. replaced by a single new thing...

I for one I very upset about this, but to make remarks about some buying a yacht, executive bonuses, and other things like that is just petty and not adding anything to the discussion. Others on this thread have said the same thing without the sarcasm and I agree 100% with them.

Well of course, but it never works like that. An addition in one area results in a loss in another.
And the fact that is never works like that is more of an issue for me than the balancing of the budget logbooks. When we are inundated from on high on how profitable TWDC is, the notion that keeping something like PUSH (or the Ziti Sisters in EP) is too much to handle because of offsets is ridiculous....

I agree with you and thank you for adding to the discussion. I for one want to add the the entertainment not take one thing away to add another. I am looking forward to the Festival of Fantasy, but would hate to find out that this is way little things like PUSH are going away.

I for one I very upset about this, but to make remarks about some buying a yacht, extractive bonuses, and other things like that is just petty and not adding anything to the discussion. Other on this thread have said the same thing without the sarcasm and I agree 100% with them.
Let me rephrase my post again.
We are redirecting our anger in a comical way. I do not see your "sarcasm".
And Be honest. 99% of the threads have many talk that doesn't "add anything" to the discussion.

My goodness, not PUSH! My daughter didn't remember PUSH from our earlier trip, so I made it a mission to find him on our trip last month. I made a running joke of going up to random trash cans and asking, "Is that you, PUSH?" There was much rejoicing when he was finally spotted on our last day. And now they're ditching him? I have no idea how much it costs to keep PUSH running, but the ratio of cost-to-enjoyment has to be pretty favorable.

Maybe the next WDW yearly slogan should be: "Disney World: Just as Much Magic as Necessary!"

We were there Monday for the MVP parade and saw PUSH for the first time. That right before the MVP parade because we had fast passes for Space Mountain around 1:30pm and had just gotten off Space Mountain. So as of Monday around 2pm, Push was still around near Monster's and Stitch.

Precisely so, Entertainment budgets are being slashed because showing 'savings' is the only way one gets promoted at WDW.

If P&R was running an operating LOSS most of us would be sympathetic to cuts, But cuts in entertainment in the face of record price increases and profits - Well let's just say the justification is thin at best and at worst shows TDO just does not give a D--m about guest experience.

"Candy Artist 'Miyuki' no longer appearing at Epcot's Japan Pavilion"

Add this to the elimination of PUSH and Ziti Sisters, and you have a bad week to be an entertainer at WDW...
